He did, didn't he? Brenda Leigh's a hard act to follow, but Sharon hasn't been given much to do. Most of what she did last season was concerned with "the Rusty blight" (I like that) and in this new episode there wasn't much sense of her running things. Curious.

I was wondering about Rayder's low-pitched purr. Evidently this is something that McDonnell puts on for the character. I watched one of her movies, and she didn't do that, just a lot of four letter words from a wheelchair.
